Professional Outdoor & Landscape Lighting Services

Custom outdoor lighting for homes, patios, walkways, gardens, pools, and architecture — designed for beauty, safety, and nighttime comfort.

Exterior lighting brings any outdoor space to life. Whether utilizing fixtures for security, landscape or dramatic effect, exterior lights can transform how you see and understand a building or pathway.

By understanding the play between light and dark, architects can use contrast and shadows to create beautiful and intriguing spaces.

Our number one goal when installing exterior lighting is working with the client to establish a design concept that the customer is satisfied with. You can both highlight a building’s architectural features and draw attention to plants and trees. From task lighting for safety to ambient string lights for the perfect outdoor party, whatever you may dream, we can design and build it to be an exciting and breathtaking new element of your home.

We offer many different types of lighting to complete your new backyard design. Our custom lighting services include:

Two workers came, worked very diligently digging to the irrigation connection to the main water line to examine connections. They replaced the BFD, also.

Native has been terrific to work with, and their work is beautiful. The whole process was painless, and Josh was very user friendly. Great communication, met timelines, exceeded expectations. Looking forward to working with them again on future projects.

I called Native for a spring startup of my irrigation when I had a couple fitting breaks. They were fully booked, but one of the few that tried and succeeded fitting me in within a reasonable time of a week. The husband and wife team who came out where nice and very knowledgeable. They easily fixed the weird angled pipe fittings within a couple hours. They followed up the next day and then native followed up a week later. Great experience.

I had a vague idea of what I wanted when I first called Native Design. They listened to what I wanted, were honest about what could work, gave me great ideas, and made it come to life. I love to have friends and family over and we now have a beautiful place to share with them. Highly recommend.
